I want to see Edge go completely mental. Like really, REALLY nuts. Doing run-ins on Funaki matches for no reason just to take out his frustrations on Funaki's face with a steel chair while running his fingers through his hair and grimacing the way he always does when he comes out to beat up a face.

I think that Smackdown from start to finish was brilliant.
I marked for MVP and HHH playing along with each other. It was quite freshing, and made MVP look like he could work as a face. I still mark like a mothersmurfer how Vickie will get insane boos as soon as she opens her mouth. It's brilliant.
The constant going back to Edge through the show was also very cool. Angles that get developed a little bit each week and run for months are great, but what makes them even better is when they are build up throughout the broadcast for the mini pay off at the end of the show. The 3.0 episode of Raw had no development through the show, and that was why it was awful IMO. I guess the development was supposed to be Cena and HHH one upping each other, but it didn't really work. They've improved sooooo much since then though.
For some reason I really liked the Kozlov video package. Made him look like a real star.
Liked the four way, I hope Kennedy gets a push though, because his momentum and crowd reaction seems to be stuttering a little bit. He's still got all the tools to be huge though.
Jeff vs Morrison was a very solid match. I think Jeff is proof that you can't just expect creative to single handedly create a star, especially as a face. The crowd love him, and it's down to a connection built with Jeff. The reaction when his music hit was immense. It's so much more difficult to be loved as a face, and Jeff has pulled it off, and all without a big heel run and subsequent face turn. He's just naturally likeable. Will definately be world champion within the next year. If he isn't, something has gone wrong.
Vickie's reaction at the end was great. If the pop when Batista threw Vickie over the ring wasn't enough to prove that Vickie is doing her job, the pop when Edge said the wedding was off should do it. The fans care about the story.

While Edge was still in the ring and Vickie was yelling "I don't understaaaand..." I wanted Lex Luger to run out and go "I don't knooooooow".
Anyway, it was indeed a very entertaining show. The spoilers made it sound crap, but I suppose you can't get across how good the HHH/MVP segment and the Edge/Vickie segments were in spoiler form.

I think I'd like to see Edge turn Face. I'm such a mark! Imagine how it's gonna be if it's revealed that he does get some wedding planner action
